The Ultimate Breast Lift

You need the Ultimate Breast Lift. Unlike standard lifts, this technique acomplishes upper pole fullness without the need of a vertical scar. It was developed using engineering principles to minimize the force of gravity on the breast mound. Breasts are firm and perky without the need of an implant that can eventually stretch and potentially distort the breast. The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the shadow of the breast. In your case, you have enough tissue that once elevated... more

A Breast Lift ( Mastopexy ) with Breast Implants

A breast lift can make your breasts more firm and perky but would not likely give you the fullness you would like to have. By adding implants to the plan you can achieve terrific results! In order to give you the best advice I would need to examine you though I can say that there is a good chance that you would have a nice result with breast lift that leaves a scar around the areola and nothing more. This is called a donut breast lift (mastopexy) and sometimes a Binelli lift (named after Dr.... more

Type of lift

I think there is no question you need a lift because your nipple is well belkow the inframammary fold.One could do a standard one or a lollipop with an incision aroung the nipple and a vertical limb.Also whether you smoke or not is an issue.If you do for your sahety I would do a lift and then an aug to be on the safe side.Maybe a 200-250 would give you the size you need.

Breast lift with an augmentation.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, without a detailed exam, no one can tell you what implant you will need to achieve the volume you are looking for. The recommendation is to see at least 2 Board Certified Plastic Surgeons for consultation. A lift with implants is known as an "augmentation mastopexy." This is quite a challenging operation due to the conflicting goals of each portion of the procedure. A lift elevates the nipples and decreases the breast skin to provide a... more

Breast Implant Size for Breast/ Mastopexy?

Thank you for the question and picture. You should be aware that based on your picture and your goals, you may be better off with a 2 staged procedure. This determination will be best made after direct physical examination. The first stage procedure would involve a full breast lift and the second stage procedure would involve breast augmentation. Unfortunately, there is no direct correlation between the size of breast implants and the resulting cup size. In... more

Full breast lift and small submuscular implants will give best results.

You have grade 3 ptosis, and appear to have breast volume more consistent with full C-cups (unless you buy your bras at Victoria's Secret where this is indeed a D-cup). But for sake of discussion, you are clear that you know you need a lift, since your nipples are not only below your inframammary crease, but point downward. You are also clear you want to be one cup size larger than your present size (whatever it is). I believe a full Wise pattern ("anchor" pattern)... more

Vertical lift with implants

To reach a DD you will not require a very large implant, and the size we determine at the time of the procedure. You should do well with a vertical lift or 'lollipop' pattern, and we would suggest a subglandular gel implant for a better match and flow of the breast implant and natural breast tissue. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Large implants with breast lift are best avoided for lasting result.

You have grade 4 sagging. You need full lift with anchor scar and a scar around your areola. You already have a large breast. If you make it larger with a large implants, you will rapidly sag again (extra weight stretching your skin). Thus it will be counterproductive approach. You should go for a small implant with breast lift. Implant should be used for shape enhancement of new breasts and not for size achievement. Thusn you will have a long lasting... more

Type of Lift and Implant

When I see patients with this anatomy I find I get the best results when we do a full lift including the lower scars first. I make that choice because there is just too much bad skin down there that has poor elasticity and does not make a good "holder" for breast implants. Then after 3 months when the tissues have healed well we do submuscular dual plane implants. It is also very safe to do this staged technique.
